COS Database

The ORD maintains a subscription to a database of funders called the Community of Science / Community of Scholars Database. All students, staff, and faculty with an e-mail address ending in “@upei.ca” can access the database for free. The database is searchable and is updated regularly. It is an excellent source of world-wide information on traditional and non-traditional sources of funding. To access the database, go to http://fundingopps.cos.com/ when on a UPEI campus computer. Faculty are able to create a workbench which can be accessed from anywhere through http://login.cos.com/. If you would like assistance in using this database, contact a Research Grants Coordinator.

ORDLIST

The ORD has set up listservers to disseminate information that the office receives about grants, contracts, and foundations. All faculty are listed, unless they specifically ask to be removed from the listserve. Other researchers (e.g. adjunct professors, professors emeriti) may be added to the list upon request as long as their UPEI e-mail address is active. Please contact a Research Grants Coordinator to have your name added to the ORD list.

NOTE: The Graduate Studies and Research Office at the Atlantic Veterinary College maintains a similar list.
